When is Art just Art?

Hi everyone, one of my favorite things I love to do is; going to art galleries. There is nothing like looking at a piece of art and interpreting it to what you see. When I look at a painting hanging on the wall I try to imagine what the artist must have been thinking of, when they created their masterpiece. What was their inspiration for doing it? You can learn so much about painting, just by looking at them. It can give you the inspiration for a piece of writing that you keep putting off, or the way you take a photograph, it just captures the imagination, the stories you could create from just looking at a piece of art.

An art gallery is a place of wonder for many things, especially if you are someone that loves creating or even expressing yourself through art.

Art comes in many forms whether it is through using your hands to paint or carve a piece of artwork out, to expressing it through dance, singing or acting. It is a way to release your inner self, in whatever you do. Art comes to us all, you just don’t always know that you are doing it.

Here is a list of different ways to express yourself

Poetry or Writing a Story

Children Through Toys

Diary or Journal

Artwork (Drawing, Painting, Doodling)

Dance

Singing

Mimes

Photography

Sculpture

Role Play
